    An Urban Female Superhero Tale. Attempts Gritty Realism.

    I saw this in the middle of the night in a hotel room. I have seen worse movies by happenstance. As far as the content, if you want to believe in the premise of this film, then you can and you will enjoy the experience. People that look for reasons to complain will tell you that it's an urban women's lib fantasy. Personally, I enjoyed it. It's a fine film, excellent for the budget.

    A perilous dream

    Ambitious little film that tries very hard to make it's point, KeKe Palmer step into a role that's out of type and nails it, other than that, it all over the place and leans into exploitation territory with the thin plot, with more time and character development and better story detail it would been much better than it tried to be,I am not going to pick this film apart , it is good late night viewing and not a bad film altogether .

    One Of The Best Movies Of The Year!

    This is a coming of age story based on how hustlers really live their life while they struggle & Keke Palmer played a good part in this role. It was well done & most of the actors were really great. So for all of you thats saying the movie was trash didnt really catch the reality of this movie & to me its one of the best films I will continue to watch. Well done Keke Palmer! Keep it up with your career!

    (Pimp) the story of Kenny

    Make a prequel about Kenny the pimp he was a way better character. In my opinion Kenny made the movie more interesting. I would love to see his story on the Big screen.

    better

    This film was better then I thought it would be. the acting is good and they all portray the roles really well,i got into the film. I would have rated it higher if they made me feel for the characters.
